lyrics

Jet planes - New Car - Cocaine - Big Star
You bend - you break - too bright

(In the) Spotlight! There is no shame.
Standing close to the flame
The world is yours to claim
That's just Fortune & Fame
Scandal. Who is to blame?
Breaking out of the frame
Every one knows your name
That's just Fortune & Fame

You burn - they dance - sold out - no chance.
The cash - The lies - the dreams,

(In the) Spotlight! There is no shame.
Standing close to the flame
The world is yours to claim
That's just Fortune & Fame
Scandal. Who is to blame?
Breaking out of the frame
Every one knows your name
That's just Fortune & Fame

Tied down - gold chain - shallow, and vain
A smile - can't hide - the cracks

(In the) Spotlight! There is no shame.
Standing close to the flame
The world is yours to claim
That's just Fortune & Fame
Scandal. Who is to blame?
Breaking out of the frame
Every one knows your name
That's just Fortune & Fame
